DREAMCATCHER MAKING

Dream a dream with Dreamcatchers

Content of the workshop –
A short introduction to Dreamcatchers
– Meaning, origin, materials that are/were used, patterns and mandalas and placement of dream catchers

We learn to weave a dreamcatcher by listening to beautiful meditative music and feel the essence of making a dream catcher.

About Arteisch – Native Americans chased bad dreams away from their babies with these elegant rings. I weave them to keep the good dreams in. In 2013, my hands learned to weave as well as paint. I applied the same elements of design in weaving dreamcatchers. My dreamcatchers are a smorgasbord of tiny to huge hoops, contemporary patterns and palettes. Most of my work is inspired by exploring places, people and their cultures. This drift is about learning and unlearning, to imagine and to create.
